## Media

- **Video (primary-source)**: [XPENG Robotaxi road testing](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gw92bmqFYug). XPENG footage of its robotaxi fleet in road testing (a pure-vision, no-LiDAR platform). This is testing, not commercial service: XPENG's 'L4' and 'China's first mass-produced robotaxi' framing are the maker's claims, with a pilot targeted for the second half of 2026. No public paid driverless service operates yet. _(via XPENG)_

## Summary

XPENG's robotaxi line comprises three models (reported 5-, 6-, and 7-seater variants) announced at XPENG AI Day on November 5, 2025, powered by the same vision-centric VLA 2.0 model that drives XPENG's IRON humanoid and its ADAS systems. There is no consumer price: it is a pre-commercial robotaxi program, not a vehicle sold to consumers. The verified-vs-claimed point is on maturity: trial operation is expected in 2026 (with mapping and navigation company Amap named as an early partner), so the program is pre-commercial and recorded at research maturity under DEPLOY's ladder, pending real-world trial operation. It continues the Chinese-robotaxi tier of the cluster (alongside Baidu Apollo, Pony AI, WeRide, Didi), distinguished by its vision-only / vision-centric approach and a shared VLA 2.0 brain across robotaxi, humanoid, and ADAS.
